Maybe checking mouse coordinates against the Window.GetScreen* functions 
would be enough for what you want, at least you'd know where the focus 
is at the moment, but it all depends on what you'll do (gui script, 
script link, unsupported "grab the main loop with QRead()" way - this 
last one is considered an unofficial hack or so).

A Window.SetViewOffset method is still missing, yes.  I'll see if we can 
add it for the next release (you can get it earlier using the cvs 
version or some testing build posted at the forum at blender.org).  It's 
simple, we just need to check if it needs some special care.
